Cool Should i upgrade my front w204 2009 to C63 2013 ?

Hi there,

I have one w204 from 09'
I have the original bixenon.
I have upgraded two years ago to a C63 pre facelift : i have changed the front and rear bumper, and the side skirts with the grill.

I have a full bodykit 13' C63, aftermarket : front and rear bumper, side skirts (same), hood, grill.

I would like to know if i can upgrade to C63 2013 ?
I think the wing fenders are the same, the grill is the same.
Only the headlamps and the hood are different.
Could you confirm me?

But, i think i can upgrade only the front bumper from the 2009 to the 2013, right ?
It is after market products.

And later, i would like to upgrade the hood and the headlamps :
- Concerning the headlamps, is it plug and play ? I dont have the DRL on my lamps. I have the DRL on my fog lamps.
- For the hood, i have one c63 2013 hood , in aluminium (not fiber), after market.
- For the rear bumper, is it the same ?

Thanks for your advices

Suvneer on this forum sells a facelifted AMG style front bumper for your car.. You could get that. The hood won't fit (I doubt it), since the c63 has a longer engine bay. You might be better off getting carbon fiber hood strips or one meant for the non-AMGs (unless that's what you have, then sure go install it)..

As for the legitimacy of doing this, I, myself, and many others on this forum would call this "posing" and none of us really appreciate this (please don't go around putting the emblems on it that say 6.3L and AMG at least). But it's your car, do what you want to do, but if you ever run into a real C63 next to you, everyone will be able to tell which is real.

As for installing the lamps, you can get some off of aliexpress or ebay if you don't want to install the whole new bumper. You will probably get some error codes (from removing the fogs) but you could probably find a fix.

And yes, the rear facelift is the same.

And while I'm at it, you might need an AMG trunk spoiler as well.

EDIT: and rims

Thanks for your return.
Yes i will not put any emblems, dont worry
I hate also

I just have good price on aftermarket products, and i have no choice.
I can upgrade only with C63 2012 bodykit
For the headlamps, I would like the OEM version.

The C63 hood is an aftermarket product, which is fitting for all w204 except the C63

Today i have installed the C63 grill

From past experience (I owned a c300), the grill shouldn't cost more than $170 (US DOLLARS), so less in euros. Mine was off ebay. But I guess it's too late now..

And make sure not to put the emblems on, PLEASE.

This is still way better than people with sl500 amg and clk 320 amg badge. You have no idea how many of those people I saw while driving down Vancouver.

i don't get it, you pay a lot of money to modify your car so it looks like a stock car (AMG but still...) and if the engine runs everyone knows its not a real AMG.
be a bit creative and make your car more unique

Some guy yesterday at a red light next to me in a stock Ml350 with ML65 AMG (YES ML65) badges started revving his engine next to my real C63, and people were looking at him like holy crap he has got some crazy @$$ car. I dropped mine to neutral and put it up to 4k once, and I'm pretty sure everyone figured out what it was.. You get so many randoms here in NC haha. Last month I even saw a replica Lambo Diablo built on a Pontiac Fiero at a grocery store, and he was acting like such a douche.

LOL at that fake ML65. Try not to get caught by cops tho most are real dirt bags.
